Here is some interesting trivia showing just how deep the rabbit hole of ignorance can descend:
Check out the bolded portion. Wow. This demonstrates just how closely some theists coddle the teat of tradition that was provided to them. There are actually people who think the KJV is more accurate than the original Hebrew and Greek! Holy shit! This definitely goes on the top ten list of the stupidest shit I ever heard. If this doesn't lay bare the problems that atheists have with "theist logic," I don't know what does.

[Among the various strands of the King James Only movement, this is the most interesting]
"The KJV As New Revelation" – This group claims that the KJV is a "new revelation" or "advanced revelation" from God, and it should be the standard from which all other translations originate. Adherents to this belief may also believe that the original languages, Hebrew and Greek, can be corrected by the KJV. This view is often called "Ruckmanism" after Peter Ruckman, a staunch advocate of this view.
